NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Entertainment of the Young Men's Ohristian Association Yesterday, IN THE VARIOUS EVENTS PRIZE WINNERS Youog Athletes Make Good Itecords in the Muny Contests of the Day—Much fu- terest Taken In the Sports of the Day. The Young Men's Christian association providsd an entertainment yesterday after- noon for the peoplo on holiday enjoyment bent. The entertainment was in the form of a fleld day, and although the patronage was hardly up to the ex mitteo that had the matter in hand, there Wwas a very good attendance and a handsome sum was realized, which will go toward pay- ing up the back salary of General Secretary Rose. For the past two weeks the arrangements had been in progress and the young athletes had been i constant training, so that the program was an attractive one and some of the records were very good. The audience was an appreciative one, and any especially brilliant play on the part of the contestants was greeted with enthusiastic applause. Dalbey's band discoursed excellent music all during the afternoon. . 15, Hurt, I. M. Treynor and T. C. Daw- son acted as judges; Dr. V. L. Treynor as ferce, D. I'red Grass as starter, Will J. Walluce as clerk of the course, and Fred Johnson us time keaper. L. C. Dale's lungs were brought into play in making the an- nouncements until his physician ordered him to get a substitute or lose his voice!” No Lack of Interest. Thero were several entries in cach contest, and the interest was kept at a high piteh throughout, In ouly one was there lack of entries, Miss Ethel Watson being the only one to enter the ladies’ half-mile sufety race. Tho only decision of the judges to be received with signs of dis- approbation from the audience was the polo vault, and the dissatisfaction in that case was probably due to a misunderstanding of the facts rather than a justice on the partof the judges. M. P.Itae and Fred Grass had run the record up to something over ten feet, when Rae failed three times in succession to clear it. Without announc- ing that Grass was the winner the judges al- lowed Rae to make another trial with the rod four inches higher than before, and he made what was decidedly the best’ jump of the afternoon, clearing it in_a manner that called forth loud applause. The decision of the judges in the face of this brilliant piece of work did not suis the audience, and 1t took no pains to conceal the fuct, Rae's fail- ure to make the lower jump, however. course gave Grass the prize. The following 15 the result in each contes Results of the Contest. Fifty yards dash—Dean Fenner, six sec- onds, gold medal; L. L.

McAtee, met with an accident last evening which will disfigure him for life. He was on his way home from Big Lake, where he had been spending the Fourth hunt- ing. With him were several companions, among them Perry Lavenburg, who was driving. The rig passed a pile of refuse by the roadside, and the horse took fright, shy- ing to one side. Lavenburg seized the whip and struck the horse a quick blow thatmade him jump. Coleman was holding a shotgun and had his left hand over the muzzle. As the horse jumped the gun went off, sending the whole charge through Coleman’s hand. After tying a bandage around the arm to keep the unfortunate man from bleeding to death, all haste possible was made to the oftice of Dr. Cleaver, where an examination was made and it was found necossury to amputate the hand at the wrist. The thumb and fingers were not hurt, but the whole palm of the hand had been'torn away, bone, feshand all. Metzger nud Randlett's Loes.

Terwilliger at the corner of Fifth avenue and Sixth street had a narrow escape from destruction at an early hour yesterday morning. A gas jet had been left burning in one of the upper rooms of the house und a window was open, When the storm came up cousiderable wind accom- panied it, and the flume from the gas burner was blown over against the curtain, For- tunately, Mr. James, who lives next door, was awakened by the storm and, looking he saw tho curtwin blazing. He im- v gave the alurm and the blaze was quickly extingushed. The curtain was burned up, aud the fire had already eaten a large hole in the carpet when it was dis- covered. Domestic soap is the best. —_— Sealing Letters, The ability to “seal” a letter correctly is said to be one of the lost arts. In the zood old days of goose quills, loose sand or blotting and kne sealing wax for ad- hesive purposes, delicac, in putting the wax in the right place without burning one's fingers was a necessary part of a liberal edacation. Nowadays the art has almost passed out of remembrance. Here is the correct wethod of sealing a letter: When the letter is ready lay the seal on the table, and dexterity at your right hand, and in such a posi- tion that when used the impression may be square and right side up. Then hold the wax above the flame of the gas or candle, but not near enough to burn. When the wax has been radually softened apply it with a circu- ar movement, upon the place to be sealed; rub it well around and down un- til you have a circle of propet size and thickness. The wax, still soft, has cooled sufficiently to take a clear im- pression. Hold the envelope a little dis- tance from the flame until the wax has again become goft, then moisten the seal and apply it. The result will be a clear cut impression. There will be no ad- hesion of wax to seal, no breakage and no irregular wax strings hanging about the paper. The letter cannot bo opened without destruction of the seal itself, which, in old conventional style, will serve as a remembrance of the sender and of the security of the contents of the letter. —— s THE CHAMPION MOTOR. And Also the Champlon Story of the Winter Girl, Last winter, during a visit paid a Florida plantation, a novel and effective method of catching alligators came under my notice, suysa writer in the New York Tribune. There were half a dozen young people in the house at which T was staying, and, wearying of commonplace comfort, they decided to camp out for a fow days. A pleasant piece of woodland was chosen and pre- parations began at once. The camp was neav the plantation, but was separated from it by a creek, one of the innumer- able tributaries of the St. John river. At least twice a day somo of the young people went over to the camp in an awkward but roomy old flat bottomed boat, carrying various articles which they supposed would be useful. The day before our outdoor life was to begin the old boat made a great many trips. On one occasion there were four of us going over and we were burdened with tools, hammer and nails, ropes, canned meats, ete. As wo were nearing the op- posite shore a young woman in the party espied some beautiful wild flowers, There was a submerged log directly in front of the bank where they grew, but as our boat was strong, and she suid that she would be broken-hearted unless she could have them we rowed directly over the log and one of us leaned over to pick the blossoms. Suddenly our boat began to move in a most extraordinary manner, going neither forward “nor backward, but straight up. “Alligator!” shrieked someone, and we instantly realized that the supposed log we had seen was in reality a living saurian. Three of us were almost paralyzed with fear, but the fourth and brightest of our party was equal to the emergency. In far less time than it takes to tell it he had snatched the hammer and nails and was using the first article to drive the sec- ond through the bottom of the boat. “You'll have to help; wo must be quick! Take off your shoes and use the heels as "he eried, and realizing the ssity of blind obedicnce, we began driving nails too. His intention dawned upon us by the time it had become a fin- ished action, and we complimented him on his idea of pinning the alligator to the boat with nails. But our prisoner was not pleased and began thrashing the water violently. Again our clever friend came to the rescue. ‘‘Does either of you girls wear black stockings?” said he. One of us did. *“Then sit up in the end of the boat and Qangle your feet in the water. No, don’t put your shoes on! Now swing your feet to the right!” The young woman followed his directions and, won- derful to relate, the boat slowly moved to -the right. Oars were useless; the alligator bore us home on his back and we showed our gratitude by puiting him out of his misery as soon as we could. “But how did you know he'd carry the boat, and why did he go where Isteered? And, above all, why were black stock- ings n ary?” ‘‘Have you ever heard of tieing a car- rot to the end of & whip and dangling it in front of a balky horse to make him go? My idea was based on that. You swung vour feet in the water, and seeing the black hosiery, the ‘gator’ fancied you were his favorite article of diet—a nice, plump little darkey. He followed where vou led; the nails prevented his reaching you, though his hide was so tough they hurt him but little, and cer- tainly didn’t interfere with his powers of locomotion, as we've seen.” s s e THE GROWING COKE INDUSTRY. It Has Given an Enormous Impulse to the Production of Pig 1ron. The output of pig iron from the blast furnaces in the United States has i creased toa surprising extentsince 1 The Engincering Magazine pub) article on the coke industry by M liam Glyde Wilkins, a Pittsburg en- gineer, who says that while the influ- ence of improved forms of furnaces, hot blast stoves and blowing engines is to bo considered, it is undoubtedly true that a very large share of the increase is due to the substitution of coke for coal as fuel, In 1875 Mr. John Fulton, in a re- port of the Pennsylvania state geologi- cal survey, wrote: ‘It is also manifest that coke is destined to become the lead- ing fuel for blast furnaccs, and to re- tain this position from its almost inex- haustible sourply, ce of sup its calorific intensity, and its continued economy.” The results in present blast-furnace practice have more than justified his prophety. Previous to the year last named the amount of anthracite coal used to produce one ton of pig-iron was 185 tons. Now, in the Pittsburg dis- trict, where there ave twenty-three blast furnaces, the yield of pig-iron is one ton to one ton of coke, while furnace SR at the Bdgar Thomson steel works has used as low as 1,345 pounds of coke to produce one ton of iron. Stimulated by the demands of the furnace men, the manufucture of coke in the United States has increased to a very! largoe ex- tent. In 1891 the coke industry was in progress in no loss than twenty states, requiring 40,245 ovens, The output of coke for that year, according to the United States census, was 10,352,688 tons The manufacture of coke on a large scale in the United States was first started in the Connellsville region, in Pennsylvania, and this state still holds the lead in the number of ovens and ex- tent of output, 1t is conceded by blast- furnace operators that the Connellsville product gives better results than any other coke made in the United Stutes, and it is shipped to all parts of the country to which freight rates are not 80 high as to prohibit its use. The Con- nellsville practice has become the stand- ard both for method of construction of plants and manner of operation, and hurdly a day pusses that persons inter- ested in the manufacture of coke in other parts of the union do not visit this vegion for purposes of investigation. The Connellsville coke region takes its name from the town of Connellsville, near which the manufactuve of coke was begun. A history of the region would be practically a” history of the H. (. Frick Coke company, who own and o trol 9,086 of the 17,315 ovens iu the basin, or considerably more than half the entire number, The first coke made in this region was made in 1841 by McCor- wick, Campbell & Taylor, in two ovens, built near the mouth of Hickman run. Tlese two ovens were built from a descriptioa given them by an English- man of th’ ovens in Bgrham, Eng. The makers had hard ¥k to dispose of their product at 8 cents per bushel and retired from the business in disgust. However, James Caehran and others saw an nppnrnmn{‘ in the business and leased the plant, and in 1842 the in Cincinnati 13,000 bushels James Cochran continued in the ness and is today part owner in tifree plants of 750 ovens. From this small boginning has grogn o business that in 1801 amounted to an output of nearly 5,000,000 tons, of tearly one-half the product of the WUifted “States, giving direct employment #to about 18,000 men. e —— THE WIDOWS MEET. Mrs, U, S, Grant and Mrs, JeTerson Davis et Each Other Cordiaily, nine years after the close of ar the widows of two of the pal figures in the great struggle meot for the first time in lives, in friendly intercours S. Grant, the widow of the sc ¢ who was fore- most among the union leaders in bring- ing to a close the o strife, made the acquaintance of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, relict of the leader of the southern con- federacy, on Sunday last, Mrs, Jefler- son Davis had been stopping at the Marlborough hotel in New York City for some time. At her southern home, Beeuvoir, Miss., Mrs. Davis had rec:ived as a guest Mr. ll«:nr{ Cranston, pro- prietor of the hotel at West Point; and when Mrs. Davis came north” a short time ago she received an invitation from Mr, Cranston to stop at West Point dur- ing the hot summer months, an invita- tion which she accepted. The meeting of the ladies took place at Cranston, the famous hostelry at West Point where so many celebrated men have stopped. It was at West Point where both of the great leaders on either side received the education which fitted them almost wholly for the part each played in the civil conflict. For many years Mrs. Grant has spent her summersat Cranston. Mrs, Grant, who had been informed of the expected ar- rival of Mrs. Davis, was at this time dressing. She finished as Mrs, Davis stepped from the carriage, and began to alk down to the public parlor as Mrs, s entered the elevator, ‘When Mrs. Grant veached tho parlor she was told that Mrs. Davis hml gone to her rooms. ‘'O, 1 am so sorry,” said Mprs. Grant. ‘‘I had hoped to meet her here.” Mrs. Grant then walked upstairs to the first floor, went to Mrs. Davis’ room, and softly rapped upon the door. Mus. Davis herself came to the door and opened it. “I am Mrs. Grant,” announced the widow of the famous union general, “‘and I have called because I wanted to tell you that T waited to meet you in the parlor, and I am_ very sorry I failed to greet you there.” “T am very glad to meet you,” re- sponded Mrs. Davis. *I wish to say it was very kind of you to call upon me. T fully ‘appreciatt your kindness and thank you for your dourtesy.” “I hope your stay.at Cranston be very pleasant,” responded Mrs, “and I hope we shull see cach other fre- quenti s Tt is very kind of plied Mrs. you heartily. Thereupon Mrs, Grant her own apartments you to say so,” re- vis; “ahd I again thank withdrew to ey PEANUTS BY THE MILLION. An Unusually Large ‘Orop of a Valuable Plant. The *‘goober” industry of Norfolk is unique. Here is @& little city in Virginia that hus become the greatest distribut- ing center of peanuts in the world. A peanut is a pretty small item, but an an- nual crop of something like 5 bushels, worth millions of dollar a pretty big item. The demand for goobers has doubled within the last five years and the supplf; does not yet fill the growing demand. Few peoplé know the curious uses to which the goober has been put in trade quite of late years. No other single plant raised in this country i3 used in so many different ways. The Chinese say that the cocoa- nut palm has as many useful properties as there ave days in the year. Tho goober is not so universal as that, but it has as many valuable qualities as there are days in the week, suys the New York Independent. The solid part of the nut is peculiarly nutritive, and supplies fruit and food for many a family. The vines make fine fodder, some say as good as clover hay, while hogs fatten on what isleft in the fields after the crop has been gathered. 1f you grind the nut you get a sweet quality of flour, with which the hou: wife makes delicious piscuit, If you squeeze it you obtain a valuable oil, re- sembling olive oil and used for similar purposes. This oil also enters largely into the manufacture of the better grade of soaps. The kernels are roasted for coffee. The roasted kernels are also used in the manufacture of some kinds of chocolate. The confectioner helps to ruin our digestion in boyhood days with peanut candy; the Georgia cook alone knows how to make rich pastry of pounded peanuts. The artist, with paint brush, silks and satins, creates novel and beautiful peanut orna- ments; so that peanut dolls and other curios may now be seen in the shop win- dows, especially avound the holidays. These are some of the ways in which the leguminous nut is useful to us. The goober is grown more or less in all the outhern states. The bulk of our sup- ply comes from Virginia, North Carolina and:Georgia. Down south these edible nuts are called *'goobers” or “‘pinders.” They are not known as peanuts. Now that the demand is increasing and good prices ave obtained, more growers are going into the business every year. Few crops are easier to raise than the goober, It is a hardy, prolific plant, and requires no more care and attention than a crop of potatoes. ——— PARLOR CAR NABOBS, Traveling ln LuxurlomsCars Tends to Self- Importance, “It is rather tirespme,” said a Wagner varlor car conductor to a New York Herald man, “‘the airs people put on in a parlor car.

The other girl sniffed. A few stations further the first two girls rose to leave the car. The taller reached the door and put her hand against it to brace herself for the stop- ping jerk. It came. Her companion was thrown against her, stepped on her dress, and said, *‘Goodness!” “Why don't she pick up her trail? asked the short, fat gicl of her friend. The friend merely sniffed.

K. “Most people look upon whistling as a nuisance,” said Herbert C. Sutcliffe, who is at the Southern, *‘but there is no doubtgthat a whistling man has a good deal to recommeud him. I have a friend who is a warden in a large penitentiary, and he states that in all his long exper ence he never knew an habitual whistler condemned to a term in the institution, and he says, moreover, that although the rules as to quiet and order are fre- quently broken, he never remembers of hearing an attempt at musical whistle within the terrible looking walls of the institution.

The months of July and August are the hottest and sickliest of the yonr, most conducive to howel afections, and most fawal to children under 4 years of age. Proper food is, thevefore, esson tial to the life aud happivess of infants, and proper food islactated food.
